Tired of farting at the same old villagers? Lionhead and Microsoft have revealed the "Villager Maker" for Fable III, a pre-release tool that will allow you to create your own personalized character to import into the game.
The custom villager will then appear in your game, delivering you a new quest as well as 1,000 gold fortune. But you won't be able to shake the bugger that easy -- he or she will interact with you on your quest to become the ruler of Albion. You'll also be able to save the character as desktop wallpaper, and then but your friends with it on social networks like Facebook and Twitter.
Getting your own villager into the game is a pre-order bonus, and while I know a lot of you folks are dead-set against that kind of stuff, you have to admit that this is a pretty novel concept. You can start toying around with the villager maker (which crashed Firefox on my Mac) right now, so get to it.

Fable 2 = fail
Fable 3 = more hype than game.
... because they haven't released it yet?
Sounds like a neat feature. Will have to try that out when I get home.
Thats why all the shits in Fable 2 is a fail.Unnecessary small shit all over it yet not one of them contribute to my gameplay in that game.
Linear as shit.Easy as shit.I played Fable 2 for 5 hours and I got so powerful it was fuckin ridiculous.And the whole world of Albion,it was sooo small.I got embarassed when they called it a world of an RPG.Thats sad.
Really, though? 1,000 gold? If the currency system in Fable 3 is anything like that in Fable 2, that equates to me finding that penny on my way through the parking lot that one time. (Don't worry! It was heads up!)
That means you're doing it right. I didn't play Fable (or even get an Xbox) until shortly before the 360 came out, so I missed out on most of the hype for the first game, and simply ignored it for the second. And really enjoyed the games, as a result.
Fable 1- How exactly was it a win? It delivered on absolutely NONE of its promises. On the day of its release the FAQ still claimed to have a 40 hour story without doing side quests! Fable 1 was fun, but it was all bullshit and following it like I did the game was a huge failure in almost every respect.
Fable 2- Delivered on a lot of what Fable 1 should have, was a much more robust game and aside from the lack of a a on screen map was superior to 1 in almost every way, the only things that sucked were the map and the way you had to hold down the magic button to get to different spells, aside that it was better.
Fable 3- It hasn't really been hyped that much, they've been promoting it about as much as any other game out there. Do you want them to NOT hype their game? Just go around and say "Its a game, you complete quests, they are of indeterminate quality level, things happen and it makes a story, the story is either good or bad, we have features to our game you may or may not like them. Buy our game... or don't."
I mean, really dude, what do you expect.
Fable 2 I can't really comment on. As soon as I realized everyone I looked at turned purple I quietly removed the disc and returned it to my friend.
If I were a betting man I'd say Fable 3 will be 100% pure purple.
